The picture is apparently from the wedding of former Packers teammate Terrence Murphy's wedding a few years back.

If this is representative of a larger conservative retreat from mainstream society, I'm all for it. Rather than trying to force the rest of us to live in under their rules by manipulating the legal system, perhaps conservatives realize they're beaten and are beginning to build an alternate, cloistered social…

Maybe it's not about you. I hate to ask for help because I was raised to believe that I should be able to do everything if only I am smart enough, capable enough, motivated enough, etc. So it feels like failure to have to ask. It has nothing to do with my partner, but it has a lot to do with the values and standards I…

Dunno 'bout where you are, but I'm a therapist in MA. It's true that insurance companies usually cover 10-12 sessions (which is about 2x/month), but your therapist simply needs to request additional sessions with rationale and you'll be covered for more. This is for both Medicare and private plans.

Oh, I've dated this guy. He broke my heart for 8 years before I wised up. He won't change. Yours won't either. There's a book called "Love the One You're With" by ...umm...shit...the woman who wrote "Something Borrowed" and "Something Blue." I can't remember her name. Emily Giffen? Anyway, it is much like your story.…

Don't listen to sirerikt about confessing (the other stuff is okay, though ;-))

Stop that right now. You are not an idiot or incompetent. You ARE invested in seeing yourself this way—for security? Because you "owe" it to your husband because you had an intense relationship before meeting him? Because you have a lot invested in staying distracted?

May I give you an internet hug from this seasoned lady who has been through it all?

The hard part is that your relationship with him is real. And you probably are the great love of his life. But he will never be able to give you the love you deserve for your life. It is sad that he is incapable of this, but you are strong and smart for finding a man who loves you with his whole heart, without the…

I think you really need someone qualified to talk to. I literally know exactly what you are going through.

I believe the Jezebel authors have the powers to perma black you by having gawker or other sites follow you. You have to be in "good" standing to be followed. I am not followed so i die in the greys but sometimes good people pull me out, like today!!!!

Most health insurance plans cover 10 - 15 counseling sessions. After that you are on your own but let me assure you therapists offer a very generous sliding scale based on income. Therapists will take on patients who can only afford to pay $15 a session because they want to help. It took me a while but it is worth the…

...(don't we all know a guy like this?? they're pervasive. smh)

If I may be so bold, get in to therapy. I did and it made me understand why I wanted a man who never wanted me vs. a man who loved me from day one.

This guy never wanted you. If he did y'all would have been together from the start. He's playing you and probably on some kind of crazy power trip, seeing if he can come between you and your spouse. He's a loser. Yeah stable love is boring. But it's constant and true. Your husband wants you, he wants the family you…

this guy is only telling you this bullshit for the sole purpose of fucking with your head. it will never happen. it's over. don't ever look back. he will ruin your life if you let him.

My husband nearly divorced me over my pining for another. He had divorce papers drawn up and wanted me to sign them. It was an absolute shock to my system and I then took a hard look at this guy I longed for AND myself. A guy who never really wanted me in the first place, who cheated repeatedly, who cared more about…

You're not the worst wife ever. Everyone needs a little secret thrill sometimes. Just don't make the mistake of throwing the real deal away over it.

Oh, oh man, yeah, give yourself some time to adjust to being back. I thought it was like a month or two ago, which would still be a normal span of time to still be thinking of the old flame. But 48 hours? yeah, that'll still be lingering. Just because we are fully committed to our current relationships (and if you're…

1) Can someone explain to this old lady what "meet cute" means?
